Why cricket fans are FURIOUS with one key detail in Australia’s new kit as Nathan Lyon shows off new design ahead of summer Tests

Fans have told Cricket Australia in no uncertain terms that they are not impressed with the national team’s new kits for the summer.

Veteran spinner Nathan Lyon modeled the new Test kit on Tuesday, making it clear that the traditional, pristine, all-white uniforms are now a thing of the past.

Car manufacturer Toyota has upgraded its sponsorship deal to become the main sponsor of the men’s team, joining Asics, HCLech and Commonwealth Bank.

Cricket Australia has spent the past 12 months searching for a new sponsor following the termination of their controversial five-year deal with Alinta Energy after captain Pat Cummins raised concerns about partnerships with companies that do not align with the team’s views on climate change.

It remains to be seen whether the decision to partner with Toyota will cause a similar reaction.

Regardless, fans were far from happy with the size of the logo on the front of the test kit, with many claiming it was far too large.

For fans, the thick, black outline of the Toyota logo has proven jarring.

“Maybe the logo could have been more Yaris sized than Landcruiser sized,” said someone on Twitter, now known as X.

‘Who is the main sponsor? Logo so small it’s hard to read,” another fan joked.

“Can we please get uniforms with bigger sponsor logos? Maybe the players could get a big Toyota badge tattooed on their faces?’ a third fan added.

A fourth fan said: ‘Too big. I’m sorry. The sponsor logo is too big.’

Another answer joked about the logo: “I can see it from space.”

The men’s team was sponsored by Qantas for this year’s Ashes series in England.
